No joke, this simple concotion from the famous, Vermont Folk Medicine book by D.C. Jarvis works like a miracle, but it's just Mother Nature at work for us. Apple Cider Vinegar is known to have so many medicinal/healing attributes, so put this one to work for your sore or strep throat. Yep....strep. This will knock the crapola out of the bacteria that's tryin' to knock the crap out of you. Be very sure that you are using real apple cider vinegar, as Heinz now makes an apple cider vinegar "flavored" liquid. (WHY??)

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon real apple cider vinegar
6-8 ounces water

Directions

1
Add vinegar to water.
2
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and gargle with it, spitting it out.
3
Immediately take another tablespoon of the mixture, gargle and swallow it.
4
Okay, okay, so it isn't a taste treat, but you want to get better right?
5
So now every hour, take another tablespoon of the mixture, gargle and swallow.
6
Money back guarantee if you are not feeling better in 24 hours.
7
If strep throat is bothering you, keep this up for at least 48 hours- apple cider vinegar beats the heck out of costly antibiotics.

I had the mother of all bad colds. And, to make it worse I had to work through it all. Initially I had to use use regular grocery store apple cider vinegar because I didn't have the "mother" kind at hand. My throat was so bad I was sure I would need to get an antibiotic. I'm not kidding when I say about 10 minutes after the first time using this I felt much better. It felt like it was taking the infection and inflamation away. I've been healed faster than I've ever been before without taking an antibiotic. Since then I've gotten the version with the "mother" in it and have been taking that. Many many thanks for posting!!!

6 oz = 3/4 cup. Make sure you use the good stuff (with the mother in it) from a health food store. This is such a good remedy! DH and I were getting bad sore throats so we tried this rather than gargling salt and water (which you don't swallow). The next morning I felt a lot better! I did take it at least once an hour. I dont think there is anything like it! Go natural for sure, use this!! I don't find it tastes really bad like some. Thanks a lot. I will definitely turn to this if I need to again.

Nasty taste, to be sure, but it does work- it's been my sore throat cure for YEARS. I'm not sure about the strep part, though. Only one thing I'd add- this will work even better if you go to the health food store and buy REAL apple-cider vinegar "with the mother". They'll know what you're talking about, but basically you're asking for the fungus that grows in it. I know that sounds incredibly gross, but it makes it SO much more effective than the pasteurized stuff you buy at the grocery store!

I doubted this at first, but I rushed to the local grocery store and managed to find unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother in it (organic aisle). It worked great. The taste is not enjoyable, but its worth it when your throat hurts. My throat is relieved and I will be using this in the future. Thanks!
